  Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
honor Sister To Sister on their 30th anniversary.
  Sister To Sister is a community-based organization that empowers 
youth and their families in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Ms. Hakima Abdul 
Samad Muhammad and Dr. Pamela D. Hall founded the organization in 1992 
as an organization to support Black women, but over time, the 
organization grew to support all children in our community.
  Through the years they have launched many successful initiatives to 
engage young people in positive activities and support families. This 
can be seen in their S.U.P.E.R. (Supreme, Unity, Perpetuating, Eternal, 
Revolution) Saturday program and after-school enrichment programs that 
help young people focus on leadership, community service, civic 
engagement and other important social values.
  Sister To Sister opened their first resource center, ``Each One Teach 
One,'' in 2018. This center provides female empowerment workshops, 
computer literacy training for both young people and adults, job 
training programs for both men and women, parenting classes, supports 
for anger and substance abuse management, gun violence prevention 
programs and other assistance programs for homeless people.

  Mr. Speaker, as Sister To Sister celebrates their 30th anniversary, I 
want to thank them for all they have done for the Hampton Roads 
community. I wish them many more years of success.
